Nothing to see, move along, we need to check the diapers of whitebread babies instead
A man who was arrested after causing a disturbance on a San Francisco-bound American Airlines flight twice tried to open the cockpit door, the second time after a crew member told him that the restroom was to his left, a federal air marshal said in a court affidavit.
Rageh Al-Murisi, a California resident who was carrying a Yemeni passport, is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday on a charge of interfering with flight crew members and attendants. (snip)
Al-Murisi went toward the cockpit door about 20 minutes before the flight from Chicago was supposed to land, according to Howard’s affidavit. He was yelling unintelligibly as he brushed past a flight attendant, witnesses said.
I wonder what he was screaming?
Marty, 35, recalled Monday that she and other passengers on the plane were stunned when they saw Al-Murisi walking down the aisle. She said a woman in a row across from her who speaks Arabic interpreted that Al-Murisi said “God is Great!” in Arabic.
Wai, 27, also remembered on Monday that the wife of one of the men who took Al-Murisi down later said Al-Murisi was yelling the same: “Allahu Akbar.”
But, he’s a happy guy who isn’t particularly religious or political, and has only been on planes 3 previous times.
Well, doesn’t everyone yell “God Is Great” before heading to the lavatory?
The Associate Press calls it a “disturbance”. More at: Michelle Malkin, Hot Air, The Gateway Pundit, Atlas Shrugs, Jihad Watch and Doug Ross
